For those who don't like intensive story in puzzle game I added an alternative - a summary mode: the whole section is reduced to one sentence so player still can track what is going on but without any details. #indiegames #puzzlegames #puzzle #pixelart #adventuregame

Added a visual hint when movement in direction is not possible - that makes it a bit more clear for the player but also helps a lot on records so you can understand player's intention #indiegames #puzzlegames #puzzle #pixelart

Olaf had a big night, and now he can't find the royal crown! Every puzzle sees you retracing your steps as you put it all back together, and hopefully... not lose your head for it 😱 #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #pixelart #puzzlegame

Whole plot of Olaf and the Crowning Hangover is inspired by Terry Pratchett's Discworld, so I decided to add Death to the intro. Do you think it is a good fit? #discworld #indiedev #indiegamedev

Ok, the last round of voting for the title - "Olaf: A Crowning Hangover". Any thoughts about this one? Out of all it seems performing the best in terms of game description, uniqueness and memorability. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #puzzlegame #indiegames

Volodymyr Mikhav - Olaf and the Crowning Hangover @vmikhav.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

Guess what? "A Royal Hangover" is a name of a documentary movie, so it will interfere with the game for sure. So here is the vote for another option - "Olaf and the King's Gems". How do you feel about it? #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev

As you may know, I'm working on Olaf the Boozer. And I know that some people don't like this title because of the word "boozer". I have an option to change it to "Olaf: A Royal Hangover". How do you feel about it? Do you thing it makes any sense? #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev

I finally implemented a footprints mechanic - they lead character from one point to another but you are not allowed to cross them. With this I can create complex puzzles where on each "crossroad" player needs to select a direction to follow. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #puzzlegame #indiegames

I've granted Olaf a power sought by kings and coveted by the gods themselves. The might to bend conversation to his will, to silence endless sagas, and to cut short the ramblings that worsen a splitting headache. He now wields the Dialogue Skip. ⏩ #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #puzzlegame

What do we tell to standart components? Not today! In fact I would like to just use the standart OptionButton component, but it is not scaled with game window and has slightly weird navigation, so I implemented a replacement. #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #puzzlegame #solodev #madewithgodot

I have a quick question for you. Would you like to have ability to see portraits of characters? If so - then in what mode: just portrait on dialog bar, full-height portrait on request or full-height portrait when you first talk with character? #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #puzzlegame #solodev

#16. Olaf the Boozer A sort of reverse-sokoban puzzle game in which you need to navigate and repair a tavern destroyed in a drunken stupor. An interesting concept with solid execution overall. Follow the dev at @vmikhav.bsky.social Try the demo at store.steampowered.com/app/3001110/...

Olaf the Boozer on Steam

You wake up with a hangover, a trashed tavern, and a furious barkeep. Who's to blame? Spoiler: everyone, but especially you. Solve sokoban puzzles, dive into a medieval party vibe, and experience that...
